Quick question. My visa is valid until May 25th. I have a flight to another country on May 26th at 1:30 AM. Can I go to the airport earlier and pass through immigration before midnight on May 25th?

TLDR : Answer Summary

You can pass through immigration at DMK airport before midnight on May 25th for your flight scheduled after midnight on May 26th, as long as you clear passport control before the visa expires.

You are supposed to check in 3 hours before your flight anyway.

So I do not see the problem that you will want to check in after midnight.

You will be fine.

also depends on airline. I have been in situations where checkin counter doesn’t open until 2-2.5 hours before flight.

Good Question👍

On the other hand you could also extend one day next time when you fly to thailand and land at 11pm. After landing wait before immigration just 1 more hour untill you pass through 😁 just check if the officer adjust the date already 😉

Then you get an overstay stamp in your passport and the fee is waived for 1-day overstay at airports.

500baht overstay fee and an overstay stamp in your passport. That’s the worse case scenario. If they are feeling generous, they will just give you the overstay stamp and not charge you.
